And two years ago, the nation's parliament banned strip clubs, saying they violate the rights of the women who work in them.

. ' The original plan, by the then Minister of Social Affairs, Ásta Ragnheiður Jóhannesdóttir, included both prostitution and stripping. [5] Strip shows have been banned since 2010. [6] [7] Johanna Sigurðardottir, Iceland's prime minister, who is an open lesbian, said: "The Nordic countries are leading the way on women's equality, recognizing women as equal citizens rather than commodities for sale." [8] The politician behind the bill, Kolbrún Halldórsdóttir, said: "It is not acceptable that women or people in general are a product to be sold." ' . What are they, a bunch of Muzzies? What's next, banning gun ownership?

Just turn off the internet and cut the undersea cable. That is the only technology that will do it and several Islamic countries do that. Does the war porn from Syria count as they have enough internet access if there is will there will be a way.

Iceland has had laws banning the printing and distribution of pornography for years, but those laws haven’t been updated to include the Web. And two years ago, the nation’s parliament banned strip clubs, saying they violate the rights of the women who work in them.

From Wiki:

A Gallup poll conducted in 2011 found that 60% of Icelanders considered religion to be unimportant in their daily lives, one of the highest rates of irreligion in the world.[2]

Oh to hear American liberals now…

I wish Iceland all the best in their endeavor, and hope that their society will continue to treasure people as people, unlike the putrid mess of debauchery that the U.S. has become.
